Angie Palfrey Princeton BC & Area Issues Facebook
A lost dog has been reunited with its family after spending three weeks in the wild in and around Princeton, B.C.
Mordy, a four-year-old Labradoodle from Abbotsford, went missing Aug. 26 when he escaped from a Princeton yard while visiting family.
Owner Angie Palfrey and her family made several trips to Princeton over the past three weeks聽to search for the dog. Multiple sightings of Mordy lit up community Facebook groups during the time.
Surrey-based Pet Searchers Canada were even called in, using bloodhounds and equipment to search for Mordy, but to no avail.
The saga came to an end Sunday, when Mordy was found and captured in Princeton on the KVR trail near聽Cormack Marsh, according to Palfrey on聽
鈥淲e still cannot get over the seemingly limitless love the community of Princeton, B.C. has shown us,鈥� she said.
Palfrey thanked the community for all the help in searching for Mordy.
鈥淲hether it鈥檚 been through keeping a look-out from your window, or posting your words of hope and encouragement on FB, allowing us to set-up traps and camp-out on your property so we can try to catch him, or taking an extra long drive home from work to see if you can see him,鈥� she said in her post.
Community members also left gates open for them, put posters up, took their own dogs out to help look for Mordy and ran out of the house to search whenever he was spotted.
鈥淵ou were the eyes, ears, hands, feet, minds and hearts for me and my family when we couldn鈥檛 be there. There are no adequate words to sufficiently thank you all,鈥� Palfrey continued. 鈥淧lease know we love you. We are so grateful for you. We would not have him home now without you.鈥�
